Life at Barry

Barry's suburban Miami Shores campus offers a beautiful, quiet space far enough away from the city to make you feel like you have just entered an oasis. Yet, it is close enough to the Ft. Lauderdale/Miami metropolitan area to give you easy access to main highways, the beaches, sports venues, cultural events, and numerous opportunities for practical experience. Barry's off-site locations are designed to be close to your home or work, providing you a minimal commute and more free time to enjoy your regular activities.
